#1 I got an ultra-rare!

Post by Mayabird »

This is just me gloating, but I'm in HC Boozetafarian and I decided to get a wand for zapping, and I came across the Master of Thieves and beat him. I have a Platinum Yendorian Express Card! I'm planning on keeping it until the end of my run and then selling it, hopefully for a LOT. Then, shopping spree!

Anybody want some presents? (Note that it's not sold yet, and that it might take a while to sell, and I won't have magical unlimited funds to be able to buy everyone a Mr. A.)

I would really love a Tome Of Snowcone Summoning, but those have gotten stupid expensive. So really, any present is good. I'd probably be happy with Bat Guano if it was in a nice box. [/VG Cats reference]

Wow, congrats to you! Nothing for me, thanks, your smiling face is enough of a present.

Aww, thanks.

I found a buyer and I'll be trading it off as soon as he gets out of HCO.

Update: Now that I have some meat, I can start buying gifts for people if anyone wants anything. I should be out of HC either tomorrow or the day after. My funds still aren't infinite, but they're pretty nice now.

And I couldn't even get a bobble-hipped elf.

Oh well. Someday I may even afford the damn snowcone tome.

Nah. I want the Snowcone Tome because it'd help me with these agonizing Hardcore runs.

Once I get out of this HC run, I could buy some of the rarer outfits and put them in the clan stash for people to use to get the tattoos for them. Otherwise, I'll be going straight into my first Oxy run.

And I still have wrapping paper that I haven't smithed into anything if we need tropical duds pieces.

EDIT: I think the price on the bobble-hipped hula dolls just crashed. You might be able to afford it now if you want to buy one.

Damn, it did? I got one in my Crimbo pressie. Probably better to bide my time though and sell when prices go up.

Yeah, when the items first came out the prices were over 3 million, but when I checked earlier today it was below 2 million. I predict that the prices will dip even lower before they start rising again, based on prices of many other previous items. Usually you can sell a new item for a lot and then buy it back for cheaper later.

What can I say? My guilty pleasure in life is watching the KoL economy.

Bobble-hips will return upwards; they're an off-hand that gives +15% meat. But it'll be a while, all told.
